AMERICA'S HOMETOWN HOUND 2026

Teddy Bear
Teddy was found unconscious in a Texas railroad yard with maggots on him and his harness embedded in his spine. A wonderful woman realized he wasn't dead and paid over $5000 in vet bills, then cared for him until he was sent to MA to be adopted. We adopted him in December 2025 and he is the BEST dog -- friendly, cuddly, well-behaved, perfect for us. We love him to bits and he is very happy to finally be in his forever home. tw_user 1 Day 0 Votes

Crush
Crush just turned 1 on April 15… while hes still a rambunctious teenager, he is an absolute love. Hes gone through extensive training in hopes to be a therapy dog, but for now he has a little too much energy! Hes never met a stranger- only future best friends. He makes friends everywhere, with everyone… and makes his presence known! His happy place is with anyone that will love on him… or at the Sandy Dog getting treats from Sam! He is truly the happiest puppy I think to ever exist! tw_user 1 Day 0 Votes

Rigatoni
Meet Rigatoni: Plymouth's most Italian Goldendoodle! 🍝🐕

This charming (not so mini) Mini Goldendoodle is a true hometown hound with impeccable taste—literally! Rigatoni is a proud regular at Stracco's Subs & More, where he's become something of a meatball connoisseur (he highly recommends them). When he's not enjoying visiting his Nonno and Daddy at Stracco’s, you'll find him taking leisurely strolls to the Mayflower, soaking up all the love Plymouth has to offer, and getting very offended if passersby don't acknowledge his undeniable cuteness.

With his charming Italian flair, endless sass, and unwavering love for his Plymouth community, Rigatoni isn't just a dood—he's a hometown legend.
